Outside
Approached through electrically operated iron gates, the gravel drive sits to the front of the house with a delightful formal garden around it enclosed by mature shrubbery borders and yew hedging. Beyond the turning circle to the north is a lovely informal garden/orchard with two magnificent copper beech trees and mature foliage on the boundaries for privacy. On the east side of the house is an expansive lawn surrounded by handsome brick paths which lead to a log cabin/store and a brick outhouse/gym (with light, power and TV). The lawns are very well kept with mature herbaceous borders around them and an established silver birch tree.

The games room with a studio above is situated close to the house and beside the detached double garage, where there is a pedestrian gate onto the village green. To the south of the house lies a wall enclosed garden with an attractive kidney shaped swimming pool and hot tub. A combination of stone and brick terracing provides great character and pleasant hard landscaping.
